Anyone, anything ???

Thanks guys, :thumbsup: , that helped clear my doubts.

ASROCK 4CORE1600TWINS-P35 + q9950,4gb ram, 1 tb= 600 ? with tax Is this a good setup? Ive seen a good deal with this setup but I dont know much abuot this mobo, Is it any good, does anyone have one? Would it be a better choice to move to a asus P5QL PRO for an extra 15?. I mainly use...

Hi, I see people with 12 GB & 16 GB ram on their rigs, I do not find any 4GB ram modules anywhere. How do you do it? Are these modules much more expensive per Gb than 2 GB modules?

Bearmann: If you go throgh this a bit more carefully we flog the subject to death. With 12 gb of ram from all Ive been investigating I would not wory too much about the scratch disk, in the other thread "elconejito" told us how to measure how much scratch u are using. If you are not...

Well guys, I am overwhelmed with the amount of information I have learned from You two & an ocasional inicision from I.D.C.:thumbsup: I hope that some of my mental squigles also have enlightened you some.:) ...and just when you think youre done, some great graphs with cs4 & cpu...

specialk I did, i mentioned it in the other post.... I have the ICH8M Sata, ahci controler on my laptop, I guess with 2 drives I will have the option to either do a raid 0 or a raid 1 setup? or do you think there is any chance of doing a raid 0 for os& apps & then a raid 1 for photos...

Great I.D.C., those links help to clarify everything, 1+0 & 0+1 I think is the easiest for layman terms. The advantage a 1+0 would have is that when one disk fails you still run on 3: & you only have to recover the down disk. with 0+1 when one disk goes down it takes its partner with it...

Cant delete this :confused: Stripped = joining two disks to act as one hence x2 the power & capacity. mirrored= joining two disks in order to duplicate/backup transfers. four disks, a50,b50,c50,d50. raid 0+1 a50 & b50 are striped to become x100 . c50 & d50 are striped to become...

Wow, just cheking this out, where did you get that info. from? That is realy valuable info to me, I had no idea how to figure that out, thanks. :thumbsup: You dont even need to instal windows if you create an acronis true image bootable cd, just recover from there & have imagebackup on an...

specialk90 Sorry, I edited that again, I hope I made it clearer... Im realy lost with this Raid 10, are you saying that you can take 4 disks , select 100 gb in Raid 0, then raid 10 on the rest??? Another question, are you using a hardware controler for this raid 10, from what i have...

:P I think that was the original question !!!! From all the gathered information I think maybe the raid would be faster but les stable. Why? -Because ( Take the 4x segates for eg.): If you assign 100% of the power of 1xdisk (Dedicated) to each seperate task, when that task/disk...

I know that vista home has more limited resousces for eg. ram use, maybe that is why. I am comparing two home premium versions. As I say, when I had the 32 x & cs4 I had a lot of lag on my brushtip preview, it would move around about 1/2 a second slower, sometimes it would just take of miles...

My head is about to explode now, looking up different raid systems. So the difference between raid 10 & reid 0,1 is that: - with raid 10 you mirror 1 drive with another then you set up the same in parallel as a 0 setup. - with raid 0,1 you first stripe 1 drive & then you mirror each drive...

O.K. I think I am begging to see the light, I guess it is most important in respect to which graphic card you choose, nvidias or atis. I guess you can mount the cards on either chipset but there might be compatibility issues if it is not nvidia chipset with nvidia gpu & viceversa. Is that the...
